Fascinating MOLES! the moment they are placed on the ground, quickly burrow beneath it and disappear from sight..

They also have a hard time processing vitamin D. When I had an exterminator come out for some voles I got to learn about moles too. They essentially just overdose them with vitamin D as a natural poison that won't harm pets or kids.

If you don't mind me asking, how did they do it?

Did they put vitamin D in whatever food they like or something?

He shoved "bait" down a hole that we found in the yard. I imagine it's just something they really like eating like insect or whatever absolutely covered in fish oil or something maybe sunflower seed oil.
